1. Nut digraphsNino Bašić, Patrick W. Fowler, Maxine M. McCarthy, Primož Potočnik, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: A nut graph is a simple graph whose kernel is spanned by a single full vector (i.e., the adjacency matrix has a single zero eigenvalue and all non-zero kernel eigenvectors have no zero entry). We classify generalisations of nut graphs to nut digraphs: a digraph whose kernel (resp. co-kernel) is spanned by a full vector is dextro-nut (resp. laevo-nut); a bi-nut digraph is both laevo- and dextro-nut; an ambi-nut digraph is a bi-nut digraph where kernel and co-kernel are spanned by the same vector; a digraph is inter-nut if the intersection of the kernel and co-kernel is spanned by a full vector. It is known that a nut graph is connected, leafless and non-bipartite. It is shown here that an ambi-nut digraph is strongly connected, non-bipartite (i.e., has a non-bipartite underlying graph) and has minimum in-degree and minimum out-degree of at least 2. Refined notions of core and core-forbidden vertices apply to singular digraphs. Infinite families of nut digraphs and systematic coalescence, crossover and multiplier constructions are introduced. Relevance of nut digraphs to topological physics is discussed.

2. Nut graphs with a prescribed number of vertex and edge orbitsNino Bašić, Ivan Damnjanović, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: A nut graph is a nontrivial graph whose adjacency matrix has a one-dimensional null space spanned by a vector without zero entries. Recently, it was shown that a nut graph has more edge orbits than vertex orbits. It was also shown that for any even $r \geq 2$ and any $k \geq r + 1$, there exist infinitely many nut graphs with r vertex orbits and k edge orbits. Here, we extend this result by finding all the pairs $(r, k)$ for which there exists a nut graph with $r$ vertex orbits and $k$ edge orbits. In particular, we show that for any $k \geq 2$, there are infinitely many Cayley nut graphs with $k$ edge orbits and $k$ arc orbits.

3. Nut graphs with a given automorphism groupNino Bašić, Patrick W. Fowler, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: A nut graph is a simple graph of order 2 or more for which the adjacency matrix has a single zero eigenvalue such that all nonzero kernel eigenvectors have no zero entry (i.e. are full). It is shown by construction that every finite group can be represented as the group of automorphisms of infinitely many nut graphs. It is further shown that such nut graphs exist even within the class of regular graphs; the cases where the degree is 8, 12, 16, 20 or 24 are realised explicitly.

4. On cubic polycirculant nut graphsNino Bašić, Ivan Damnjanović, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: A nut graph is a nontrivial simple graph whose adjacency matrix contains a one-dimensional null space spanned by a vector without zero entries. Moreover, an $\ell$-circulant graph is a graph that admits a cyclic group of automorphisms having $\ell$ vertex orbits of equal size. It is not difficult to observe that there exists no cubic $1$-circulant nut graph or cubic $2$-circulant nut graph, while the full classification of all the cubic $3$-circulant nut graphs was recently obtained (Damnjanović et al. in Electron. J. Comb. 31(2):P2.31, 2024). Here, we investigate the existence of cubic $\ell$-circulant nut graphs for $\ell \geq 4$ and show that there is no cubic $4$-circulant nut graph or cubic $5$-circulant nut graph by using a computer-assisted proof. Furthermore, we rely on a construction based approach in order to demonstrate that there exist infinitely many cubic $\ell$-circulant nut graphs for any fixed $\ell \in \{6, 7\}$ or $\ell \geq 9$.

6. On regular graphs with Šoltés verticesNino Bašić, Martin Knor, Riste Škrekovski, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Let ▫$W(G)$▫ be the Wiener index of a graph ▫$G$▫. We say that a vertex ▫$v \in V(G)$▫ is a Šoltés vertex in ▫$G$▫ if ▫$W(G - v) = W(G)$▫, i.e. the Wiener index does not change if the vertex ▫$v$▫ is removed. In 1991, Šoltés posed the problem of identifying all connected graphs ▫$G$▫ with the property that all vertices of ▫$G$▫ are Šoltés vertices. The only such graph known to this day is ▫$C_{11}$▫. As the original problem appears to be too challenging, several relaxations were studied: one may look for graphs with at least ▫$k$▫ Šoltés vertices; or one may look for ▫$\alpha$▫-Šoltés graphs, i.e. graphs where the ratio between the number of Šoltés vertices and the order of the graph is at least ▫$\alpha$▫. Note that the original problem is, in fact, to find all ▫$1$▫-Šoltés graphs. We intuitively believe that every ▫$1$▫-Šoltés graph has to be regular and has to possess a high degree of symmetry. Therefore, we are interested in regular graphs that contain one or more Šoltés vertices. In this paper, we present several partial results. For every ▫$r\ge 1$▫ we describe a construction of an infinite family of cubic ▫$2$▫-connected graphs with at least ▫$2^r$▫ Šoltés vertices. Moreover, we report that a computer search on publicly available collections of vertex-transitive graphs did not reveal any ▫$1$▫-Šoltés graph. We are only able to provide examples of large ▫$\frac{1}{3}$▫-Šoltés graphs that are obtained by truncating certain cubic vertex-transitive graphs. This leads us to believe that no ▫$1$▫-Šoltés graph other than ▫$C_{11}$▫ exists.

7. Ranking footballers with multilevel modelingGregor Grbec, Nino Bašić, Marko Tkalčič, 2024, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci Opis: Despite football’s collaborative nature, the inquiry into the identity of the best player is a frequent topic in the footballing realm. This discussion disproportionately highlights attacking players, creating an apparent bias, as every team role holds significance. Our study aimed to delineate player performance from team performance and ensure the inclusion of players from all positions in the ultimate ranking of the best players. We sourced data from FBref, encompassing every player in every match played by a top 20 European team in the current century’s top 5 European leagues. Employing a multilevel linear mixed-effects model, we utilized team points as the response variable, accounting for both player and opponent team strength. The extraction of level-2 player residuals, averaged by player, facilitated the creation of a comprehensive ranking for the best players of this century. Surprisingly, two players widely regarded as among the best of all time, Messi and Ronaldo, secured relatively low positions on our list (Ronaldo at 12th, and Messi at 14th).
